Any other Nanowrimers out there?
« on: October 31, 2017, 03:57:51 PM »
Lol, I just realized is my second thread subject asking the mustachian universe if anyone else is in my situation.

For those of you who've never heard of it, Nanowrimo (NAtional NOvel WRIting MOnth - https://nanowrimo.org) is in the month of November. During the month thousands of people all-around the world attempt to churn out a first draft of novel that 50,000+ words. Some people also join in on the fun as Nano-rebels, i.e. anyone who wants to work on a project that is not a fresh 50,000+ draft that begins on Nov. 1. I'm a Nanorebel this year, and I'd love some mustachian buddies to support/be supported by!

I have a story I'm trying to finish editing and I hope to be done by the end of the month. So I don't quite count but I'm interested in what others are up too.

I did it once and got the certificate. But I don't really write that way, and November is a bad month for me...I mean, to write 1600 words a day. Thanksgiving weekend and very often some travel plans in November just messes up Nanowrimo for me, so I've quit doing it. It's great fun though.

You can totally count it, if you want to. They even set up a goal tracking section on profiles for that sort of thing this year!

Actually ended up taking me until December 2nd to get it up on Amazon. How did everyone else's month go?

I had to finish three book reviews--usually takes me around four drafts each, after I've read the books cover to cover. Since I have a deadline and an editor, I have to get 'em done and get 'em in...it's not optional. lol But I'm way ahead of my Dec. 15 deadline.


 

Wow, a phone plan for fifteen bucks!
